 ”Uni~ uni~ uni~”

   Uni guided us carefully.
The crane truck was moving, but it was making a grinding sound at certain places.
That’s why Uni is guiding us as though he’s saying “alright, alright”.

   ”Kyu-, cuuuute!” (Eph)
 ”Mo~gu~♪”

   Eph got excited at the sight of Uni.
She was hugging Iseki tightly, shaking his body violently.

   ”Go-!”
 ”Yep, thanks for the support.” (Wirk)
 ”Kobelco is also doing his best-noja.” (Bamboo Princess)

   Kobelco is watching to make sure the magic reverberatory furnace doesn’t fall.
The checks the moles are doing on the ground along the way is also helping.
Everyone is doing good.
 Thanks to Kobelco, as well as Eph’s and the Bamboo Princess’s hosing, things like monsters and magic beasts didn’t come close.
We were able to move with peace of mind.

 Then, after half a day, we once again set foot in the dwarven city.

   ”Oh my! What in the world is this steel dragon!” (Sten)
 ”No, it’s magic heavy machinery, a magic crane truck.” (Wirk)
 ”Huh? Can you give it to me? No, I don’t think we can afford to keep a dragon this big.” (Sten)

   Sten happened to be there before we arrived, but we had that sort of an exchange that I didn’t know whether she was joking or serious.
 After Eph explained, Sten went “fumu fumu”, nodding her head.

   ”That’s surprising.
Were you the one that made such an amazing vehicle?” (Sten)
 ”I guess so.” (Wirk)
 ”Uni~”
 ”””””Mogu~ mogyu-!”””””
 ”Koo~”
 ”Kyupi~”
 ”Go-!”

   When I replied so, my fluffy familiars shouted proudly for some reason.
Then dwarves came out of the hoes in droves and gathered around us.

 They were all dwarven women though.
According to what Eph said, the dwarven men basically shut themselves away inside.

   ”It’s amazing, this thing.”
 ”This human man made it.” (Sten)
 ”Wha-, what a thing you’ve made… compared to this, anything the dwarves have made is scrap iron!”
 ”Umu, the things Wirk makes are amazing-noja! Dwarves’ stuff are scrap iron-nanoja!” (Bamboo Princess)

   At any rate, we got an excellent review from everyone.
There were some amazingly harsh people mixed in, and the Bamboo Princess climbed on that proverbial wagon and said some outrageous things…
 But, though the dwarves’ thoughts are quite fanatical right, given their high potential, I think they’ll reach this level in three days.

   ”I get the feeling Wirk is thinking something crazy.” (Eph)
 ”Haha, no way.” (Wirk)

   Eph stared at me with reproachful eyes, but I’ve got a lot of faith in the dwarves’ skill.
Or rather, if we collaborate with the dwarves, we might be able to make a magic source.

   ”Now that you mention it, that Jay guy’s been violently fuming.
He’s got a big mouth yapping about stuff like his daughter being seduced, and if he flees to the ends of the earth he’d chase him and beat him up.”
 ”He normally wouldn’t even leave his workshop, you know.”
 ”Haha, he’s worried about the princess, after all.
Since he’s not honest, you know.”

 ”Well, it can’t be helped.
Eph-sama resembles the king-sama’s beloved Ea-sama a lot.” [TL: new name, and this time we’re back to letters]

   I had the feeling that dwarven men were taciturn, but maybe the women are conversely talkative.
But, I somehow get the feeling that his daughter is really important to him.

   ”By the way, who is Ea?” (Wirk)

   Amongst the dwarves’ chatter, there was a name that I wasn’t familiar with.
I was curious about it, so I asked Eph.

   ”My Mama.
She’s not here now…” (Eph)

   Eph replied so, her face down.
Oops! I must’ve stepped on a landmine! By the way, a landmine is a trap-style magic tool that explodes when stepped on.
It was originally a trap often seen in dungeons.
 That’s that, but, wha-, what do I do? To be honest, I haven’t had much chance for any contact with women, so I don’t really know what to do in times like this…

   ”I-, I’m sorry to hear that? I didn’t know she died…” (Wirk)

   Nonetheless, the death of a family member is tough… I was also still little when it happened, but it was still harsh.
Though I was able to live this long thanks to my master picking me up after that.

   ”Why are you doing, killing her as you please! Ea is still alive and well!” (Sten)

   I anyways bowed my head and apologised, but raised her voice and joking shook her fist at me.
 Huh? Is that so?

   ”Mama is different from the other dwarves.
She’s currently an adventurer.
She said she wanted to travel around the world.
That’s why she isn’t on this island.”

   What, so that’s how it was.

   ”At that time, Eph-chan felt lonely, you know.
When she found out that Ea was leaving overseas, she had a face as though it was the end of the world.”
 ”F-, forget about that!” (Eph)

   The tsundere Eph turned away.
She’s trying to be tough, but it seems she loves her mother.

   ”This brat’s really got some nerve to come and not run away!” (Jay)

   While I was having this conversation with the dwarven women, Jay’s voice fell from overhead.
I looked over and saw Jay and his fellow craftsmen appear from the cave, looking down over here.

   ”I’m not running away or hiding.
As you can see, I properly brought a furnace.” (Wirk)
 ”… is that the dragon-like thing?” (Jay)

   Jay said that while staring unbelievably at the magic crane truck.
He somehow seems rather interested.
 Well, its purpose of carrying the intended magic reverberatory furnace has already passed, but…
